				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sea Girls are set to sponsor local Sunday League football teams and share upcycled shirts for charity as part of a new scheme. The indie 4 piece are collaborating with Classic Football Shirts ahead of their upcoming ‘Hometown’ UK tour, and will sponsor local teams nominated by their fans in each of the cities they will play. Every team chosen will then receive a full set of Sea Girls-sponsored Umbro kits. Sea Girls frontman Henry Camamile described how the idea came about as he stated: <em>“[New album] ‘Homesick’ was written to reflect everybody’s hometowns, so being able to give something back to our fans in this way is really important. We hope that by supporting fans’ local football teams with free upcycled kits, we will in a small way be giving something back to their communities and help with raising awareness for these teams”.</em></p>
<p>Classic Football Shirts also said <em>&#8220;We’re delighted to be helping Sea Girls give something back to their fans and local communities through football. There’s now a strong list of artists and bands sponsoring their favourite football teams, but this idea to sponsor local grassroots clubs along the tour route for the band shows how much they care about their fans and it gives everyone a chance to get involved. The first kit with AFC Muswell Hill has come out brilliantly and we’re already excited to see how all these teams get on in these shirts this season.” </em>You can view how an alternative version of the kit will look below.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="font-weight: 400;">Canadian indie rock group The Dears have announced a string of UK shows, the band are set to make their long-awaited return to the UK this September. The Dears promise a setlist full of nostalgia and will perform classics taken from their decades-long career. The Montreal-based rockers’ setlist will also include tracks from their recent release <em>Lovers Rock</em>, the upcoming tour marks the live premiere of the album in the UK.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The group includes founding member and guitarist/vocalist Murray Lightburn and vocalist/pianist Natalia Yanchak, the husband and wife duo have remained at the helm since its formation in the 90s. After The Dears released their debut album in 2000, they quickly amassed a loyal following and received praise from critics and fans alike. Entitled <em>End Of A Hollywood Bedtime Story</em>, the album caught the attention of music fans and The Dears were placed at the forefront of a resurgence of popularity for Indie rock in Canada. The group’s recent release marked their eighth studio album, <em>Lovers Rock</em> was released in 2020 and was met with critical acclaim and rave reviews.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">On tour this fall&#8230; <a href="https://t.co/j5lKBfM252">https://t.co/j5lKBfM252</a></p>
<p>— Natalia Yanchak (@nataliayanchak) <a href="https://twitter.com/nataliayanchak/status/1527630251811127296?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 20, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The band had initially planned to tour in support of Lovers Rock two years ago but due to COVID and the subsequent lockdowns, they were forced to postpone any live performances of its material.  Speaking in a press release, Yanchak has given the following statement, “<em>After all this time, the re-re-scheduling of tour dates and the re-re-re-anticipation of playing shows — it’s a little hard to believe these shows are finally going to happen. We originally released ‘Lovers Rock’ in 2020. It was an album we were, and are still, very proud of. So it was hard to put out a record and then not play a single one of those songs live. We did a streaming show, but it’s just not the same as being in the same sweaty club, all together.</em>”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The album saw Lightburn and Yanchak work with long-time drummer Jeff Luciani, guitarist Steve Raegele and bassist Remi-Jean LeBlanc. Along with a full-string section, Lovers Rock features E Street Band’s Jake Clemons and Alex Francoeur on saxophone. Also included in the album is Sam Roberts, the fellow Montréal-based musician also known for his work within Canada’s indie rock scene.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Lightburn gives the following statement concerning the group, “<em>The Dears aren’t fucking around, We don’t have time to waste. We’ve got a job to do. And we’re going to do it. 20 years ago, I knew I had a sound in my head, but I didn’t know how to get that down. Now I know how to get that sound. The question we’re asking in the music is, ‘how do we navigate so much bullshit in this world?’, We’re still playing this dumb rock music. But there’s always gonna be a little twist of the knife, cutting into something deep to make you feel like you’re alive. To say, ‘I know what you’re going through. And I’m hearing you, and I’m with you.’ That’s what the music is supposed to do.</em>”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The Dears’ six-date UK tour kicks off on 30th September 2022 with a set at Cambridge’s Portland Arms, the band will then play Liverpool’s Zanzibar on 1st October 2022. After a set in Manchester on 4th October 2022, the group will perform in the capital at Highbury’s The Garage with support from Perfect Son. The tour concludes with a performance at Bristol’s Exchange on 6th October 2022, click <a href="https://linktr.ee/thedears">here</a> to purchase tickets.</p>

<p><script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" charset="utf-8"></script>Otherwise known as Jamie Alexander Treays, the singer&#8217;s number one album was released on 22nd July 2022 via Polydor Records. <em>The Theory Of Whatever</em> was proceeded by three singles, &#8220;<em>The Old Style Raiders</em>&#8220;, &#8220;<em>St. George Wharf Tower</em>&#8220;, and &#8220;<em>Between The Rocks</em>&#8220;. Before its release, Treays began to tease and promote the album&#8217;s release; on 27th April 2022 the singer confirmed <em>The Theory Of Whatever&#8217;s</em> release. <em>The Theory of Whatever</em> is the first release of new material since Jamie T&#8217;s break; the singer&#8217;s previous album <em>Trick</em> dropped in 2016.</p>
<p>Although <em>The Theory Of Whatever </em>is Jamie T&#8217;s first number one album, the singer has cracked the album charts top 5 four times before. The songwriter&#8217;s debut album <em>Panic Prevention</em> was released in 2007 and reached number 4 within the charts; the release was praised for its use of themes concerning youth culture and lyrical content. The singer&#8217;s second album <em>Kings &amp; Queens</em> dropped two years later and charted at number 2; the album&#8217;s lead single &#8220;<em>Sticks&#8217; n&#8217; Stones</em>&#8221; also sired chart success and position within the singles charts top 20.

<p>Yard Act aren’t the only talented so and so’s to be rejigging one of Warmduschers bops, the forthcoming remix EP will also use the gifts of Red Axes, Glok, and Joe Goddard of Hot Chip. Sharing their glee at the prospect of the new editions, <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/listen-to-yard-acts-woozy-remix-of-warmduschers-greasin-up-jesus-radar-3266300">Warmdsucher said;</a> “<em>There’s nothing better for the soul than taking what’s yours, giving it to your friends and letting them chew it up and spit it back out in your face. Something different, something weirder, something better, bolder, or even more beautiful! Ladies and gentlemen we’ve got friends in high places, and these friends have chewed us up perfectly.  We hope you enjoy more of the same, only much more different, Warmduscher the remixes!!”</em></p>
<p><a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/listen-to-yard-acts-woozy-remix-of-warmduschers-greasin-up-jesus-radar-3266300">Yard Act added;</a> <em>“When we found out they felt the same things about us, it could only make total sense to stick our fingers in each other’s noises. ‘Greasin’ Up Jesus’ is a perfect come-down album ender to a rollercoaster party record, but behind those louche elevator synths and chintzy shuffling drums, we could hear that there was still a party going on underneath, and so we tried our best to dig it up and let it out with our remix. We had so much fun doing this. Long live Warmduscher.”</em></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yorkshire crop known as The Lounge Society have dropped their latest single titled “<em>No Driver”</em>. The track comes ahead of the release of their debut album <em>Tired of Liberty</em> via Speedy Wunderground on the 26<sup>th</sup> of August 2022.</p>
<p>Rife with jagged noises and contrasting rhythmic motifs. Once again, the mind of producer Dan Carey has packed that live-sounding punch into every beat, continuing to drum up a frantic excitement in those listening. Check out the video beneath;</p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/E6Y9ATGzKso" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>Straight from the horse&#8217;s mouth, <a href="https://diymag.com/2022/07/06/the-lounge-society-new-video-no-driver">the band stated; </a><em>“No Driver is the sound of the human mind reaching breaking point – of finally letting go of the wheel because you just don’t care what happens anymore, this brings a powerful feeling of freedom and hedonism that we’ve distilled into a rock and roll song. It’s a huge sonic leap forward for us, and both on stage and on record it’s THE ONE that gets us going, that we pour our hearts into. We’ll play No Driver until our fingers bleed.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>“Musically this song is an amalgamation of several very different melodies and rhythms which shouldn’t really work together at all but somehow they all slot perfectly into place to create what we think is a powerful piece of music. When we play this song live together, it is us four letting the music take over us and that’s what carries the track.”</em></p>
<p>Take a look at the Tracklist for the upcoming album down below;</p>
<p>1.People Are Scary<br />
2. Blood Money<br />
3. No Driver<br />
4. Beneath The Screen<br />
5. North Is Your Heart<br />
6. Last Breath<br />
7. Remains<br />
8. Boredom Is A Drug<br />
9. It’s Just A Ride<br />
10. Upheaval<br />
11. Generation Game</p>
<p>You can get hold of a copy of the new LP at <a href="https://loungesociety.ochre.store/">the band’s official site.</a></p>

<p><script src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js" async=""></script>Brittain McVey has <a href="https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/vamps-offer-nostalgia-10th-anniversary-090000625.html">spoken</a> with BANG Showbiz concerning the group’s tin anniversary, <em>&#8220;I think for a lot of people, there are various moments over the last 10 years that offer up nostalgia. Up until this point, every tour has been based on a specific album, like last year we had the ‘Cherry Blossom’ album and tour in September. But this one is going to be different because we want to get all the albums from the last decade into the show. Hopefully, it will be the sort of show where – some people might have been really big fans of the first or the second album and we want people to relive those moments with us. It&#8217;s going to be emotional, but it’s going to be so hard to pick a set list because we’ve got five albums now!</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>Throughout the group’s career they have enjoyed great success, The Vamps scored their first number one album with their third studio album <em>Night &amp; Day</em> and received two Gold certifications for their first two albums <em>Meet The Vamps</em> and <em>Wake Up</em>. Due to their commercial success, the band have worked with some big names in music such as Demi Lovato on the 2014 single “<em>Somebody To You</em>” and performed with Taylor Swift on tour.</p>
<p>Frontman Simpson has also <a href="https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/vamps-offer-nostalgia-10th-anniversary-090000625.html">spoken</a> on the group’s experiences, the singer talks about how the band had opportunities to meet and work with their heroes, &#8220;<em>Meeting Dave Grohl for me was just ridiculous because he’s been one of my idols for so long. They say don’t meet your heroes but it was just very inspiring to learn that you can be a good person and also just be a sheer legend. Connor got to meet Brendon Urie from Panic at the Disco. James as well, like when we got to tour with Taylor [Swift] which was amazing.</em>&#8221;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bear&#8217;s Den are back with their first full length album since their 2020 collaborative effort <em>Fragments</em> with composer Paul Frith. The London band have become a staple member of the nu-folk scene in Europe and the UK since their triumphant debut &#8216;Islands&#8217; in 2014, with hit songs such as &#8220;<em>Agape</em>&#8221; and &#8220;<em>Above the Cloud&#8217;s of Pompeii</em>&#8220;. Since then they have continued to evolve as a band, releasing increasingly bold and eclectic bodies of work that continue to push the boundaries of their acoustically led beginnings without ever forgetting them. <em>Blue Hours</em>, their fifth offering, is no exception. Layered in a fairly polished and hi-fi production by long time producer and collaborator Ian Grimble, the opening song &#8220;<em>New Ways</em>&#8221; immediately feels like a sonic departure for the band. Led by an emotionally dark and sprawling piano and punctuated by sudden drum rolls, the arrangement is intriguingly offbeat and different to their previous offerings, before principle singer Andrew Davie&#8217;s signature tenor arrives to provide the necessary touch of familiarity.</p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pOqZjHj6tsY" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>Talking about the album&#8217;s conception and meaning <a href="https://www.clashmusic.com/features/foundations-bears-den">with Clash</a>, Davie explains how the album attempts to discuss mental health in a frank and empathetic manner: &#8220;<em>It&#8217;s the main overarching theme with this record&#8230; It probably speaks to our struggles and hopefully many other people&#8217;s too. Men are not very good at talking. We’re not really taught how to. Men have no idea how to talk about this stuff, certainly to each other</em>&#8220;. Going on to provide further insight, Davie reveals that elbow&#8217;s <em>The Seldom Seen Kid </em>was a big inspiration both musically and lyrically for him and fellow band member Kevin Jones: &#8220;<em>We spoke at length about this album while recording &#8216;Blue Hours&#8217;. We’d both been fans of elbow for a long time but this record felt like musically, lyrically and on a production level, everything clicked into place. There was a kind of bravery and an assuredness in the risks that elbow took on this record that only comes from a band that&#8217;s on top of their game. It’s a beautiful album and a favourite of both of ours.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>If their current position in the UK&#8217;s official album charts is anything to go by, then it seems they too are on top of their game. In a tweet recently put out by the band, they reveal that they are currently charting at a career high of number 5 in the midweeks.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">We’re #5 in the UK album chart midweeks, and it’s all thanks to you legends! Pick up a copy of our new album from our online store, your local record shop or from our Bristol and London shows before Thursday and help make Blue Hours a top 10 record! <a href="https://t.co/UEIg9CCgeM">https://t.co/UEIg9CCgeM</a><a href="https://t.co/QrkguvHIsi">pic.twitter.com/QrkguvHIsi</a></p>
